Divorce & Legal Separation

There are differences between a divorce and legal separation, whichever is the best course of action for you, it is important to receive legal advice prior to entering into an agreement.

In a divorce your marriage is ended. In ending your marriage there are many issues that must be addressed including child custody, support, visitation, division of property and more.

In a legal separation your marriage is not ended, it enables you to live separately. A court order is issued that outlines your rights and responsibilities to each other while you are legally separated. This agreement addresses many of the same issues that a divorce will. It is important to make sure you are satisfied with the separation agreement, should you make the decision to divorce, the judge may use the separation agreement for the terms of your divorce.

Parenting Time & Child Custody Agreements

One of the issues you will be deciding when children are involved is legal custody and parenting time. The two types of custody are physical custody and legal custody. Parties can then either be awarded sole physical/legal custody or joint physical/legal custody. If a custody dispute happens, the attorneys at Kraft Walser Law Office will work hard to resolve the dispute with the least amount of conflict. Yet when it is necessary, they will vigorously represent your interests in court.

Child Support & Paternity Suites

Child support is financial support given by one parent to the other to provide support for their children. The money is intended to be used to provide for medical care, schooling, food and other living expenses for their children. In the event the parent ordered fails to provide the support they agreed to or were ordered to by the courts, there are legal actions that can be taken.

Prenuptial Agreements

A prenuptial agreement is a contract entered into prior to marriage that determines ownership of your assets should the marriage fail.

Guardianship Cases

Guardianship is a legal right to be responsible for the food, health care, housing and other necessities of a person deemed to be fully or partially incapable of providing for themselves.

Adoptions

An adoption permanently transfers all rights and responsibilities from the biological parent or parents. If you are adopting a child it is important to make sure that all legal processes are correctly followed.
